My daughter attended Helen’s daycare for about two years and absolutely loved it. Every Thursday, she looked forward to going—always excited and full of joy. Helen provided a warm, caring, and safe environment where my daughter could grow, learn, and thrive. Thank you, Helen, for nourishing her development with so much love, patience, and support. We’re truly grateful for the beautiful memories and the positive impact you’ve had on her early years. With love, Rita

My son Lachie started daycare with Helen when he was around 9m old and is still in her care today, 4 days a week. I can’t believe how lucky I was to find Helen and her gem of a daycare! As most new mums heading back to work, finding the right daycare is so important and I spent many weeks visiting a range of daycares trying to find one that felt right (which was a struggle). I was lucky enough to eventually find Helen by chance and I instinctively knew she was the right one straight away! She is the most caring, kind, thoughtful and nurturing person and I felt so comfortable leaving my son in her care from day 1. Dropping Lachie off at Helen’s feels like dropping him off with family, she really creates such a welcoming environment for both Lachie and me and was so great with his transition into daycare in the early days and always kept us informed on how he is was going. Lachie absolutely adores Helen and can’t wait to go to daycare everyday and often doesn’t want to leave at pick up. Helen consistently tailors her care to the needs of interest of each child, if Lachie is showing an interest in dinosaurs, she invests time fostering that interest which is so lovely to see! She is also so great in helping with his physical and cognitive development. I highly recommend Helen and she has become such a good friend and is always able to provide great advice, having two older boys of her own, which I really value and appreciate. Helen is one of a kind and I feel so fortunate to have my son in her care!

Helen is an extremely attentive, caring, generous and skilled educator. My daughter was in Helen's family day care in the second half of last year and absolutely thrived in Helen's care. Helen made my daughter's transition into care unbelievably smooth - from day one she was attuned to her needs, full of warmth and empathy and also constantly shaping her activities to meet her developmental stage. Helen genuinely loves her job, and it is evident every day. I could not recommend Helen highly enough.

About Helen's Family Day Care

Hi, and welcome to Helen's family day care! My role as a Family day care Educator is to create a safe, positive, nurturing and fun environment. A home away from home - where the children feel a strong sense of belonging.

I strive to do this by building their self confidence and self esteem with encouragement and praise. By giving children choices, will allow them to become independent and confident in their daily activities. My mission is to create an educational environment with engaging learning opportunities. Focussing on experiences based on children’s ideas, interests and likes.

My relationships with families are so important to me. Working together in collaborative, effective and reflective way with good two way communication. It is central to ensuring continuity and progression in a child’s learning development, and future success.

My passion is encouraging children to learn during play, in everyday conversations and being a positive role model - guiding and supporting them to navigate their learning journey. Encouraging children to reach their full potential which enable's them to become the best versions of themselves!!
